Site
A summary of evidence for the past occurrence of strong earthquakes inferred from data compiled from
Ács et al. (2016) reveals a large number of earthquakes that occurred in the last 30.000 years. Such data is
not reflected in the Site Safety Report.

Seismic profile Pa-21-S across part of the DHFZ (700 m SE of the existing NPP Paks)
The profile shows 10 individual faults (indicated by the red lines) that offset even the youngest
sediments of the Danube. These faults are shown to reach up to the surface.

Paleoseismological assessment of a branch fault of the DHFZ in a 82 m long / 2.8 m deep excavation:
The trench exposes a series of faults that ruptured the surface in two distinct earthquakes about 19.000 to 20.000
years before present.

Seismic profile Pa-22-S across part of the DHFZ (1500 m NE of the site)
The profile shows 16 individual faults (indicated by the red lines) that offset even the youngest
sediments of the Danube. Faults are shown to offset the basis of Quaternary sediments and reach
up to few metres depth below the surface.
Figure and data are not shown in the MVM Paks II Site Safety Report that formed the basis of the

1.
Paleoseismological data derived from the trench Pa-21-II next to the site confirm the existence
of faults leading to permanent ground displacement in the site vicinity of Paks II.
Conclusion:
The statement by MVM Paks II Zrt. is not in
line with geological evidence described in the
Geological Site Report. The contradictions
between the Site Safety Report on the one
hand, and the geological observations and
the conclusions in the Geological Site Report,
on the other hand, is, in opinion of the
authors of this study, contrary to the
principles of good scientific practice.

Paleoseismological data derived from the trench Pa-21-II next to the site confirm the existence
of faults leading to permanent ground displacement in the site vicinity of Paks II.
Hungarian Governmental Decree No. 118 of 2011 (VII.11.) on nuclear safety requirements:
Conclusion:
Geological and geophysical data documented in the Geological
Site Report and the Site Safety Report are not sufficient to
reliably exclude the potential of a permanent surface
displacement.

3.
A wealth of geological and geophysical data described in the Geological Site Report
proofs that the Dunaszentgyörgy-Harta fault zone is active.
Conclusion:
Application of Russian nuclear safety requirements
would exclude the construction of an NPP at the Paks II
site.
